Commencement Ceremony

An annual commencement ceremony is held at the end of the spring semester for the previous fall graduates and spring graduation candidates. Participation in the commencement ceremony does not imply that a degree/certificate has been awarded. All degree requirements must be met before a degree/certificate is awarded. Students must pay a commencement participation charge to attend the ceremony.

Summer Completers

Students completing their requirements in the upcoming summer may participate in the previous spring commencement ceremony. 

See SUMMER COMPLETERS for additional information

Commencement Participation Charge

There is a charge for each commencement participation. Completion of the Graduation Application form DOES NOT constitute notice that you plan to participate in the spring ceremony. Students must contact the MCC College Store or a cashier at any MCC Center Office by the 4th week of the term to purchase a commencement participation package. A late charge may be added for those failing to meet this deadline.

Students who do not plan to participate in the college commencement ceremony may purchase a diploma cover and/or tassel from the MCC College Store or from any MCC Center.
